CompTIA Advanced Security Practitioner Boot Camp

The CASP certification is an international, vendor-neutral exam that proves competency in enterprise security; risk management; research and analysis; and integration of computing, communications, and business disciplines.

The exam covers the technical knowledge and skills required to conceptualize, design, and engineer secure solutions across complex enterprise environments. It involves applying critical thinking and judgment across a broad spectrum of security disciplines to propose and implement solutions that map to enterprise drivers. For more detailed information, view the exam objectives.

While there is no required prerequisite, the CASP certification is intended to follow CompTIA Security+ or equivalent experience and has a technical, hands-on focus at the enterprise level.

CompTIA is an ANSI accredited Certifier - 0731. The CASP program is included in the scope of this accreditation. The CASP certification may be kept current through the CompTIA Continuing Education program.

See what our students are saying:

I had a terrific instructor. His depth of knowledge was clearly evident. He approached each question raised by the students not only to answer, but to be sure the student understood the answer.

- John Hollan - AEHGE

Awesome! I couldn't have asked for a better teacher.

- Sergio SilvaCompustar C.A.

Exceptional instructor and course, I would recommend it to anyone.

- Joaquin FuentesEarly Warning

There are many of us entering these classes that are managers and not programmers. The step-by-step is very helpful for those that don't know Linux or C as well.

- Brant Bertrand - AEHLoves

The course couldn't have been any better. Our instructor was very knowledgeable about the various topics discussed during the training and was able to provide various examples in order to help solidify course concepts.

- Richard ValdezBNSF Railway Company

Instructor did a fantastic job of delivering a large set of very dense course material cogently to the class. She obviously had the material down cold and could easily break down elements of the different knowledge domains in clear explanations.

- Byron CaswellScitor

Incredible instructor. The coursework covered 300 topics in 10 domains, and he was able to speak intelligently on all of them. Better, his teaching style was relaxed and informal, which lessened the feelings of impending doom about the exam we were about to undertake. He knew exactly which sections of the material to emphasize, when we needed a break, and in many cases was speaking ahead of the slides (he knew exactly what was coming up before turning the slides). Rare gem.

- Thomas DunnGeorgia Tech Research Institute

The instructor was very knowledgeable about the pen testing and ethical hacking. He was great in delivering the lectures, lab and was very helpful in having us complete the capture the flag exercises. In addition, he provided valuable insight about security in general and pen testing in particular.

- Tijan DrammehUniversity of Maryland University College

The instructor had an excellent demeanor and candor, very knowledgable about IT industry in general and many different fields in specific.
